Fu Fighter, Earn Out, and Roman Consul are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Fu Fighter. The selection won well last time out when beating Court One and although he has a penalty for that win he won in the style of improvers and under similar conditions here he is taken to defy his penalty. Earn Out won a seller a couple of runs ago but this looks tougher and he is far from straight forward and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Roman Consul is another worthy of respect on his best form. He returns to the fray off what looks a lenient mark and with his yard in better form he should be watched in the market. Seattle Prince is another with place claims on his latest second behind Relix but he looks to have enough weight for what he has actually archived and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Agnese is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Fu Fighter.
